INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Trade Active and the Tone of the Money
Market Easy.


indianapolis. Sept. %.
The activity of some days past in all branches
of business is still noticeable and an easier tone
to the money market accompanies the improve
ment, ard with this the tendency on most arti-
Giles is to higher prices. In dry goods there is a
decidedly frmer tone. although no advances
have teeE established in any line of goods. but
that lower prices are to prevail any line is
hardly possible when the market is SO well
cleared of stocks. Grocers were never more
busy. Sugars, coffees, canned goods. starch,
rice, molassss. and. in fact. all articles which
come into daily consumption firm in price
and moving out freely. The provision market is
still unsettled. In jobbing way there is more
than usual doing at this season of the year. The
-four market Is still problem. The dealings in
wheat are, comparatively speaking, very light,
yet Eastern papers are bulls on the market. bas-
ing their bulhsh talk the condition of the
wheat market. The Boston journal says: The
statistical position of wheat 10 very strong one,
and therefore farmers who able to hold on
to their wheat are disposed to do SO rather than
sell at current low prices, for they realize that
there is money 10 the business now. There
is no let-up in the complaints about the spring
wheat crop. That crop, which promised so well
in August, and which all supposed would turn
out excellent both In quality and quantity, it is
now thought will be one of the poorest in both
respects, known for many yeers. In the winter
wheat sections sowing is backward and there is
as much complaint OF a lack of rain in those
sections of excess of it in the spring wheat
States. The visible supply statement shows a
decrease of $4,000 bushels which was q
surprise to the trade as an increase was antici
pated." The produce market is active. Apples
in abundant supply, but firm at our quotations.
Peaches high and better prices have
been realized in the last forty-eIght hours than
at any time this season. Irish potatoes are 1T
scant supply and advancing in price. Eggs, az
we'll, firm at the advancing prices of late.
Butter and poultry moving out some better,
but with large arrivals prices continue weak.
GRAIN.
The Board of Trade to-day held session,
and there bsing no call we are unable to publish
the usual grain markets.

Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-02-18

THE Washington correspondents of va
rious papers are inclined to attribute
more meaning to Minister Pendleton's re-
turn to this country than a mere visit
would warrant. Rumors of private let
ter from the hand of the President so i'm
mediately preceded this minister's return
from Berlin that the wiseacres conclude
there is reading between the lines which
savors of book-naking for the coming
presidential campaign, and read the
ticket for 1888, Cleveland and Pendleton.
The ostensible reason given at the State
Department is that Mr.. Pendleton was
called to receive specific instructions in
regard to the protection of American Cit
liens in case of war between France
and Germany. This is plausible, es Mr..
McLane was at Washington not long
since and was thoroughly instructed as
to American citizens in France should
hostilities begin.

MARIENFEID. TEX Feb. If-T

Correspondence of the Gazette.
MARIENFELD, TEX Feb. l6.-The late
rains IN the east have given new life tc
the counties in which it fell, but the west
has been disappointed in not receiving
the same. 1t does seem, said one old
farmer, that nature owes US grudge and
wants to pay US in one more years drouth,
We have stood the first year without 8
murmur, but the second year grinds US tc
the. dust and we will be compelled to
walk away and leave our families here.
The farmers in this community have
hoped to have had rain, but the second
rain that has visited the drought district
east has not visited the west. The farm.
ing community that but eighteen months
ago looked so prosperous and who have
worked so faithfully to build up the great
west, must return east farmless, shoeless
and foodless, unless some one comes to
their assistance to hold them over until
grim nature shall give them rain, and
seeds to SOW to provide for their earthly
existence

the people suffered and went hungry
while the Governor of the state planned
and plotted for the senatorship. When
the Legislature met it voted 100000 as
relief fund, sum inadequate to the
needs Of the people overtaken by
calamity. The President is right; and
the administration that was Indifferent,
and the newspapers that answered exag
gerated assertion by denial equally exag,
gerated, are responsible for the failure OF
efforts to relieve, and for the binding
shame to Texas that it could not raise
$4,000 to buy seed to plant for its own
people, but asked the National Treasury
for it and failed to get it.
But the people in certain counties are
in need. A common humanity demands
that they be furnished with seed. The
money appropriated by the state will
provide temporary relief, but what of the
future with no means to prepare for
crops: Texas should appropriate sum
sufficient to purchase seed required, and
that no time be lost the bill should
authorize the immediate purchase snd
distribution of what is SO urgently needed
